When asked about his plans for the next game, he replied, "I can not talk about anything yet, but since the moment releasing GT [Sport], I have started making the next GT."

Yamauchi says he doesn't know if the next game in the series will be Gran Turismo 7, but did tease the possible inclusion of bikes.

Talking about the likelihood of a sequel to PS2's Tourist Trophy - GT studio Polyphony's motorcycle racing game - Yamauchi said that while there are no plans for a follow-up right now, it's something he's asked about frequently:

"I always hear about the sequel of TT, so I do not know whether it will appear as a sequel to TT or whether a motorcycle will appear in GT, but always there is a corner in the head."

That last bit is a head-scratcher courtesy of Google Translate, but from context, we're guessing it means that there's always a chance that we'll be hurtling around tight corners with a Ducatti between our thighs.

Yamauchi also confirmed that an update for GT Sport is planned that will add time trials to to the VR mode, and future updates will "include new cars as well as past cars."
